Chibbyr y Skooie Holy Well

Archaeology

The site of a medieval holy well.  Chibbyr y Skooie was known as a 'Skoij' well, so called in Ireland as the water was supposed to stop vomiting.  The well consists of a fairly deep unlined hole in the ground from which water can be heard trickling. It was densely overgrown when recorded.  The well was associated with the keeill site at Ballamillgen farm.
